THE STORY
Enrich your space with the nostalgia of the 1970’s. We bring to life the recognizable sports big foam finger in a modern art piece, The Big Finger. We CNC route this contemporary piece into 1″ high density urethane. Customize it with a number and name field of your choice, including a color to match your favorite team.
The original concept of the iconic American sports symbol dates back to early 1970s. It was created by Steve Chmelar and constructed of hardware cloth and papier-mache. Later in 1976, Geral Fauss, a teacher at Cy-Fair High School created ’foam’ fingers to show support where he taught. Fauss first sold his foam fingers at the 1978 Cotton Bowl in Dallas (University of Texas vs Notre Dame). He later went on to find Sprit Industries for the large-scale manufacturing of foam fingers. In 1979, Sprit Industries produced the first polyurethane foam version for the product.
Fast forward to today and it is our turn to carry on the custom Big Finger tradition. As you’ve probably noticed, our version is customizable with your team colors. Take advantage of our extensive database of sports team colors and typography fields for your custom personalization.
